@Cosmickiller 108ツ I was 4... I remember my family had one of these. I had to share it with my parents and my little sister until we got our own iPad Minis a few years later
I remember having this and enjoying all kinds of games like it was yesterday 😓 Now I’m with the IPad Pro 2018. Time flies so fast. Damn, this video game me so much nostalgia. I remember my whole family had to share 1 iPad. Good old times.
My dad still uses his ancient first gen iPad while recently purchasing the newest iPad Pro for me. He adores it too much to throw it away. He got it immediately when it was released in my country, and I remember when it was still new, trendy, and fascinating. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since then.
Watching this on an ipad 2, I still like to use it :D I also have a 12.9" pro and I will have to disagree with your last statement, I do believe that the modern ipad pro with ipados embodies what the original vision for the ipad is, It sits right in the middle between my phone and macbook, I have apps on it that I use also on my phone like tinder,spotify,shazam,youtube etc and I also use it as a laptop replacement with its desktop like feautres. And as a music production tool to complement my music production. With this my macbook pro has become a music making tool only :)
The original iPad was actually my main driver for a long time. It wasn’t easy back then. I had to use a lot of work arounds, such as a third party browser just to be able to download or upload anything, but somehow I made it work for the most part.
I still use my 1st gen iPad as a digital photo frame - works great for that especially with the photo frame feature on the lockscreen which Apple annoyingly removed from later iOS versions
I liked skeuomorphism... The icons and the overall UI was looking so amazing! There was so much detail in everything, that you just couldn’t overlook! Now everything is flat and simple... Not saying iOS is looking bad, it looks beautiful and for sure it is nicer than other OSs, and it has the best animations and physics feel, but when seeing all those modern flat icons and UI elements they make me think I just simply recreate them in photoshop myself... there isn’t any detail to appreciate... Skeuomorphism made the devices feel more magical I think. They felt like you holding a physical object that indeed could be transformed into anything you wanted, from a real notepad to a real agenda to a real calendar etc! On the other hand, the flat design feels more like just “icons” and “lines” on a display, nothing less nothing more.
as far as the two factor authentication, they actually did a workaround for older devices, when it prompts you to put in the password, you put in the password, immediately followed by the two factor code, and it'll let you sign in
I remember when the ipad 1 first came out and told my self, “know i will never ever will own one cause its too expensive”, but here i am with an iPad Pro 12.9 inch. Ah if past me sees me now.
I gave my dad my iPad 1 about 8-9 years ago, he is still using it to this day for his square register. Battery is still holding up and cellular connection still working.
I had the orignial iPad. I was in college at the time and honestly it was a game-changer. I used it along with a bluetooth Apple Wireless keyboard as my laptop to take to classes, take notes, and I could even use the college's software for downloading e-textbooks and uploading course work for professors. Grant it, that software did work better for laptops but the fact that it was compatible and ran relatively smoothly on a first-gen iPad was incredible. And yeah the device is heavy by today's iPad standards but at the time, it was so late even with the keyboard. And the fact that I could get most of my textbooks as e-textbooks meant I was carrying around a lot less on campus than my peers and my back definitely thanked me for it. Would I want to use an original iPad in 2020? No, I love my 12.9" iPad Pro with Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard Folio. But it's amazing that the iPad really was always a device that could replace or at least provide an alternative to a full computer. I really think the sky is the limit with iPads, and even then they'll likely go beyond that.
I got the original iPad when I was in 8th grade for Christmas. This was the best darn thing ever at the time. It was like my iPod touch 2nd gen but huge and I loved playing World At War Zombies and other classic iOS games
I still use a first-gen iPad - I’ve tried to talk myself into upgrading but since all I do is view PDFs of chord charts and occasionally sheet music and it does that perfectly I haven’t been able to find a good enough reason. My dad’s stuck on a second-gen for the same reason.
My 1st iPad was the original Mini and my 2nd is the Mini 5. I love the form factor. I put it in my bike bag and cycle to a coffee shop to read and relax. I also can do pretty everything I need to do on vacation with it so I travel with it. I did just recently compliment the Mini with a bigger tablet, a Microsoft Surface Pro. I love that it’s a full computer and a tablet, not has good a tablet as an iPad, but way closer than you would think.
Omg I have an iPad 4th gen. My parents bought it for me on my 14 birthday. This feb they bought me the 10.2” iPad budget, and I give the old one to them for watching videos and Netflix. This video brings me so much memories, I feel the nostalgia with the design and the icons.
I remember thinking the critics were right. Who would want a gigantic iPod touch? Then a friend got one and I still remember the first time I used it. My mind was blown away. Browsing the web with it really felt like a thing coming straight from the future. Photos was equally amazing.

My rich friend also told me that he has samsung s8 and he has oreo while mine has Android pie. I dislike that they just forget old phones and end support. Apple better support for 5 years on both software and hardware part. Problem is they have tooo many products and comfusing. S10, then s10e, s10 plus, s10 pro whatever. It's very confusing. And worst is they use exynos in budget phones. I got my realme 3 pro with Snapdragon 710 for $185. While Samsung offers extremely slow compares to this with lower quality camera for $250. I just want them to create few products but selected and higher quality. More quantity = less quality

It may be hard to believe, but I still prefer the look of pre-iOS 7. It had a lot of character to me and felt welcoming to use. If I was presented the option to change the look and feel of iOS back to 6 but keep all the new features, I’d use it in a heartbeat! And I’m among the younger crowd too.
When I was born my mom bought the original iPad for me and my sister. It was 2010 then. I used to remember having so much fun on that thing.

Love this review... I will have to dig my old 1st gen iPad out of the archives lol, I don't think mine even powers on though. Lol. Thanks for sharing Greg.
My kids are still using the ipad 1, we kept it for them to use. They can still play most kiddy games on it and watch youtube. Its main advantage is that it has a much tougher body, seems better materials were used. The screen is harder to scratch also, after all these years only minor scratches appeared.
I think Jobs’ car/truck metaphor was spot on. I use my iPad for just about everything but when I need a bit more power (video editing etc) I use my Mac
@@GregsGadgets I bought the first two iPads and then the 6th Gen version. The 6th Gen version hasn't been used or touched in a couple of months since I bought an iPhone 11 Pro Max which I use for email, messages, and reading books, and it is always in my pocket. The iPad has a bigger screen but I don't like to watch video on it or carry it around and the phone is unobtrusive and always there with cellular connectivity. I almost always want to use my computer for banking, videos, books, and serious email and web browsing such as comparing multiple web sites to order stuff online. I prefer the exactitude of a mouse and keyboard to the finger keyboard and external mouse of an iPad. I could buy a $2,500 iPad Pro including cellular radio, Pencil and Keyboard, but for $2,500 I could also buy two pretty good laptops or one very good laptop. It seems to me that I am almost always a phone and computer kind of person. As good as an expensive iPad is, it doesn't compare to either a good phone or a sort of good laptop, let alone a powerful desktop. Your needs and likes may vary.
I remember thinking my uncle was the coolest person in the world because he had an iPad straight out of a sci-fi movie that I could play (very simple) games on 😅
Its incredible that the original iPad can be seen as a retro device now! The way we talk about this is how we used to talk about some really old tech like Windows 3 or something
I used an iPad 2 in middle school since the school provided one for all students to carry on the campus. It was obviously used as an educational tool and i really wanted to get one outside of school. Now i own the 2018 iPad Pro and it’s getting me through college. This video brought back some memories.
The other day I found my original iPad that I had when I was a little kid and it turns out that there was a 10 year old screen protector I had never peeled off, so that was satisfying to do after a decade
I was 12 years old when the original iPad came out and it was the first device I truly could call mine. I’ve still got it to this day and have been really considering buying a new one 🙌🏻
What I love is the way they ‘Think’ how ipad interface could be: to :What ‘Be’ ipad interface... so appreciated my ipad more today then 2019... and surely more last quarter 2020
I was a kid then but I remember vividly it was a simple, clean interfaced streaming player with a search function and a ''favorites'' that were your channels. Looked awesome actually and worked flawlessly with WiFi.. and no ads, no interruptions, no BS. Paradise video watching! Now its unbearable. Fortunately unlike my dad that has always been an Apple freak, I never jumped on that stupid bandwagon and have had Android since the start. Thank God for rooting, controlling, customizing and ACTUALLY INTERACTIVELY OWNING YOUR OWN DEVICE and among other things, getting rid of all ads system wide. Do you even remember the first 3 years of IOS there was no cut, copy and paste? That's right, genius Jobs who always thought all the users are mental retards and only he knew the enlightening truth, didn't think it was necessary. And to this day, there still isnt a real file manager hahahahahahahaha...is hilarious. Apple is a joke from start to finish..
I still rock a 2012 iPad 3. Since the software updates stopped at iOS 9.something, it can't download or update most apps anymore. But if you just want to download some videos to watch in the train or wanna use it as a second screen for some documents and stuffs, it holds up surprisingly well. Since iOS 9 is still very similar to iOS 13, I'm honestly shocked how much of a beast that was in 2012. I'm gonna finally get a new iPad Pro tho. But I don't wanna miss my old iPad for a second, it was always my favorite electronic device to use!
Tina Ingersoll I love mine I have a 6th gen and my family is more of a family to by used ones but I got a brand new one last year for my bday and it’s actually amazing
I had lots of fun with my ipad 4 from 2012 to 2018. Then i gave it to my father. It works and the biggest complaint is the performance followed by it’s heaviness. I wish i could afford a new one. Looks so attractive
Love love love this review .. always wanted to see one ... I never used an iPad before .. i use android tablets ... I am now on the hunt of an iPad but can't find any in my country
Greg, for the two-step verification code when downloading an app on the original iPad iOS 5, the way to bypass it is typing the 6 digits after entering the Apple ID password. Try it and let me know how it goes
I remember having a used 2014/2015 model in 2016, It was a good experience but I was wishing that I could do more with it. Now I have a new 2021 12.9 iPad Pro and I couldn’t be more happier with what we have now. 😁
I honestly prefer the modern Flat design over the old iOS 6 design, but I personally think it would be cool if a setting existed to chose which theme you want to use. It’s a very un-Apple solution and it would never realistically exist but it’s nice to think about.
Nice video! Made me just pick up my old 2010 iPad (and first recharge it for a loooooong time). Lots of blue stains on the back, caused by that wrap-around Apple cover that was sold separately at the time, Apple logo still faintly visible … inspiring, thanks for this!
As you said that you could not sign in to the Apple ID because you need two step verification code but you can actually still do that, if it asks you on a different device the code you just type the code after your password and then you will allow you to sign in.
To login into your Apple ID on an older device that shows no two factor authentication code prompt, get the two factor authentication number from your other apple device when prompted and enter your Apple ID password on the older device with the two factor authentication code at the end of the password with no spaces in between.

I think Jobs’ car/truck metaphor was spot on. I use my iPad for just about everything but when I need a bit more power (video editing etc) I use my Mac
Yup I agree, and most consumers don’t even need a Mac anymore.
@@GregsGadgets I bought the first two iPads and then the 6th Gen version. The 6th Gen version hasn't been used or touched in a couple of months since I bought an iPhone 11 Pro Max which I use for email, messages, and reading books, and it is always in my pocket. The iPad has a bigger screen but I don't like to watch video on it or carry it around and the phone is unobtrusive and always there with cellular connectivity.
I almost always want to use my computer for banking, videos, books, and serious email and web browsing such as comparing multiple web sites to order stuff online. I prefer the exactitude of a mouse and keyboard to the finger keyboard and external mouse of an iPad.
I could buy a $2,500 iPad Pro including cellular radio, Pencil and Keyboard, but for $2,500 I could also buy two pretty good laptops or one very good laptop.
It seems to me that I am almost always a phone and computer kind of person. As good as an expensive iPad is, it doesn't compare to either a good phone or a sort of good laptop, let alone a powerful desktop.
Your needs and likes may vary.
I remember thinking my uncle was the coolest person in the world because he had an iPad straight out of a sci-fi movie that I could play (very simple) games on 😅
You have to write the code after your password the connect to iCloud (iPad 1 casual user here)
Oh really? I need to test that out!
GregsGadgets yeah you write your password than it send a code and than you write it again with the code next to it and there you go!
Its incredible that the original iPad can be seen as a retro device now! The way we talk about this is how we used to talk about some really old tech like Windows 3 or something
Get IPad 2020 released already 😤
😂
GregsGadgets the 2018 PRO still amazing. Don’t expect much this year
Alpha i know but it would suck if you buy expensive tablet and get the newer released with similar price
Not everyone got the money to buy the new ipad
I used an iPad 2 in middle school since the school provided one for all students to carry on the campus. It was obviously used as an educational tool and i really wanted to get one outside of school. Now i own the 2018 iPad Pro and it’s getting me through college. This video brought back some memories.
If they bring Xcode to the next iPad I wouldn’t need any laptop.
Also, the iPad Pro without a keyboard is still that magical piece of glass.
My iPad glass is so magical if you drop a coin it turns into a maze
6:36 how does the old RUclips app work for you?? i also have an original iPad but it has said “cannot connect to RUclips” for many years
I remembered using this in CS class when I was in 3rd grade, fruit ninja was the good shit back then
Your audio-script has context related general information as well. Real hard work, you deserve more subs.
Man...the yellow legal pad? The page corner turn up? 💗💗💗
Right? Strangely pleasing.
I still have mine. It's the only iPad I've ever owned
The other day I found my original iPad that I had when I was a little kid and it turns out that there was a 10 year old screen protector I had never peeled off, so that was satisfying to do after a decade
"what we now know as the iPad?" It's been called that from the beginning
2009 I was graduating high school. Crazy to think how outdated tech from those days are now.
I broke my original iPad 4 years ago nice memories
My iPad air 2 is dying :(
Greg: using the original iPad 10 years later
Me: Hi I'm watching this video on my only iPad in my life (The iPad 2)
cj gaming me too its iOS 11
PLEASE TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT THIS SHIRT!!! I’m a collector of Dragon Ball shirts & I need to know.
Uniqlo. Their shirts are always great 👍
GregsGadgets YESSS!!! I have the pink Frieza shirt, the gray Goku + Frieza one, and the “THE END” shirt from them. Makes sense.
I was 12 years old when the original iPad came out and it was the first device I truly could call mine. I’ve still got it to this day and have been really considering buying a new one 🙌🏻
Loving the subtle DBZ fandom lol 😂👏🏻
😂 thank you 🙏
What I love is the way they ‘Think’ how ipad interface could be: to :What ‘Be’ ipad interface... so appreciated my ipad more today then 2019... and surely more last quarter 2020
How did you get the RUclips app to work on the original iPad that’s the real mystery?
No clue! I was shocked too.
I was a kid then but I remember vividly it was a simple, clean interfaced streaming player with a search function and a ''favorites'' that were your channels. Looked awesome actually and worked flawlessly with WiFi.. and no ads, no interruptions, no BS. Paradise video watching! Now its unbearable. Fortunately unlike my dad that has always been an Apple freak, I never jumped on that stupid bandwagon and have had Android since the start. Thank God for rooting, controlling, customizing and ACTUALLY INTERACTIVELY OWNING YOUR OWN DEVICE and among other things, getting rid of all ads system wide. Do you even remember the first 3 years of IOS there was no cut, copy and paste? That's right, genius Jobs who always thought all the users are mental retards and only he knew the enlightening truth, didn't think it was necessary. And to this day, there still isnt a real file manager hahahahahahahaha...is hilarious. Apple is a joke from start to finish..
I have this... But I do not know where it go...
⬛ Thanks for this video.
Entertaining and good information.

Old is gold my friend
I’d rather have thickness of 1st gen iPad than having one of those new iPads that are so thin that they come from the factory with a bend
Elgars Stupāns stop with the bent complains you clearly don’t have one
Elgars Stupāns and a much larger battery
I still rock a 2012 iPad 3. Since the software updates stopped at iOS 9.something, it can't download or update most apps anymore. But if you just want to download some videos to watch in the train or wanna use it as a second screen for some documents and stuffs, it holds up surprisingly well. Since iOS 9 is still very similar to iOS 13, I'm honestly shocked how much of a beast that was in 2012.
I'm gonna finally get a new iPad Pro tho. But I don't wanna miss my old iPad for a second, it was always my favorite electronic device to use!
Great video, nice to look back in time.
Thank you 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it.
I never got why they replaced the Slide to Unlock... I loved it and the sound so much. RIP Steve
I love all iPads they are my favorite tech device in the world I’m using the 7th gen to write this comment and I love it😍
Tina Ingersoll I love mine I have a 6th gen and my family is more of a family to by used ones but I got a brand new one last year for my bday and it’s actually amazing
I have the 5th gen and i still love it
Me too. I’ve had almost every iPad until the latest 11 inch. I use it so much ❤️
Lol I’m using iPad 7th generation too
CANDY CLOUD lol that iPad is ass compared to my 11 inch iPad pro😂
I had lots of fun with my ipad 4 from 2012 to 2018. Then i gave it to my father. It works and the biggest complaint is the performance followed by it’s heaviness. I wish i could afford a new one. Looks so attractive
Love love love this review .. always wanted to see one ... I never used an iPad before .. i use android tablets ... I am now on the hunt of an iPad but can't find any in my country
Which Ipad would you prefer air or pro?
@@User2100 pro ... I just got the 2017 pro and I'm in love ❤
Greg, for the two-step verification code when downloading an app on the original iPad iOS 5, the way to bypass it is typing the 6 digits after entering the Apple ID password. Try it and let me know how it goes
I remember accidentally breaking my ipad when i was 4 lol
I remember having a used 2014/2015 model in 2016, It was a good experience but I was wishing that I could do more with it. Now I have a new 2021 12.9 iPad Pro and I couldn’t be more happier with what we have now. 😁
I miss skeuomorphism... Love iOS 6!
Lol I hate skeuomorphism
Parker Wilkins same
👎
@@thestraw8271 finally someone agrees!
I miss it! I was pissed when they changed it!
The iPad Pro 2020 is already out now
I would gladly return to "skeuomorphic" design.
I miss iOS6. The flat design that came with iOS7 was originally hard for me to swallow.
@@Whobilly For me too. And it was so slow. I wonder how fast would iOS be today if they didn't broke it.
no way would i do that
I honestly prefer the modern Flat design over the old iOS 6 design, but I personally think it would be cool if a setting existed to chose which theme you want to use.
It’s a very un-Apple solution and it would never realistically exist but it’s nice to think about.
I dont like skeupmorphism
Nice video! Made me just pick up my old 2010 iPad (and first recharge it for a loooooong time). Lots of blue stains on the back, caused by that wrap-around Apple cover that was sold separately at the time, Apple logo still faintly visible … inspiring, thanks for this!
iPad Mini 4 FTW!!!!
👍
As you said that you could not sign in to the Apple ID because you need two step verification code but you can actually still do that, if it asks you on a different device the code you just type the code after your password and then you will allow you to sign in.
But the iPas was much more than a feminine hygiene product...
To login into your Apple ID on an older device that shows no two factor authentication code prompt, get the two factor authentication number from your other apple device when prompted and enter your Apple ID password on the older device with the two factor authentication code at the end of the password with no spaces in between.
